No one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning.

"Glob apologizes" ???

Those scum-sucking (s)uckups don't have enough integrity to apologize.

"Ernst & Young did not resign as auditors of Dimethaid Research Inc. Incorrect information was published Saturday."

That's not an apology. It's not even a retraction. It's a statement of fact.

A lot of people (including me) believed that Zehr, even in a fundamentally biased article, at least had that basic fact right: that E&Y had resigned.

Nope: not even that. A ten-year old kid doing journalism for homework could have done a better job. It would have been more factually correct, less prejudicial, and less contrived. It would have made an attempt at honesty, and fair presentation.

I'm not seeking to deny the legitimate concerns that surround DMX. But this is the Globe & Mail's - and Zehr's - part in an Establishment hatchet job, and it sucks, big-time. This sort of "article" - factually incorrect FUD - will give bullshit a bad name.

Letter to all the readers,

You are like a god.

With every moment your future is unknown, yet you go
forward into it. The apparent life you seem to see is
largely made by you. You are the creator of opportunity
and the maker of restriction. You define what you will see
and what meaning that has. You create change at will in
yourself and to those around you. You undo the past, make
a new one, or erase it from existence.

You are also like an animal.

Stuck in the now of physical being and making great opera
about it. Beating people up and not knowing why. Fixating
on objects. Mood du'jour long term decisions. Feeling
different later and calling that changing your mind.

It's a busy time. Here you undeniably really are right
now and if it wasn't for the brain constantly forecasting
into the future or dredging up the past or racing out to
all those alternatives and consequences and on and on, you
would be very relaxed right now.

Others can tell me they make completely rational decisions
but I'm not buying. I know better. Everyone has been
developed over millions of years to be a foraging little
mammal programed with extensive fear to survive and made
to be concerned outward from its centre by the square of
the distance away.

Good luck in your investments.

I personally guarantee you that on your last day on the
planet they won't mean crap to you and are unlikely even
to cross your mind.

This moment has as much potential in it as any you have
ever known and perhaps more. Just drop the bags and go.

...

Note: For anyone interested in proving to yourself how
much you create what you see, try this experiment. Pick
a new topic. One you've never cared about and know
practically zilch about. Topics you categorize as boring
are good for this. Now think about what that is from
their point of view. Work at it. Read something. Be
receptive to information about it.

Now watch.

If you can't think of anything I'll give you one. Sit
down and write down all the different types of birds you've
seen. Take some time and try to remember. Read a little
about the birds where you are. Ask some people if they
know someone who's a bird watcher. Be receptive to seeing
more birds.

Now watch. Within a few months you'll be wondering where
all these birds are coming from. (anyone. anyone.)
